On August 18, 2016, visitors flocked to Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) for the lively monthly Third Thursday Poplife Social. This month, rock band Modernage reunited for a rare live performance at the museum. As the sun set over the museum, PAMM members joined in the Third Thursdays Lounge for complimentary drinks provided by Heineken and lite bites by Goya. Vanity Projects provided members with express manicures inspired by Basquiat: The Unknown Notebooks. Guests also enjoyed Basquiat-inspired art-making on the terrace and happy hour specials.

Come listen to a selection of music that inspired Basquiat and watch a documentary on his life. Then, use colored pencils and other materials to design your very own notebook page. Take a pic of your creation and share it on Instagram or Facebook using #MyUnknownNotebook.

​At the end of the exhibition, all the pages will be turned into a digital notebook that will be shared on PAMM’s social networks.

PAMM welcomed distinguished artist and professor Sam Durant to speak about recent projects that draw on ideas about the politics and cultural production of our time. Durant’s work is part of the museum’s permanent collection.

On September 30, 2016, PAMM will debut S-281913, a major new work by Sarah Oppenheimer on view until April 30, 2017. Bridging art, architecture, and engineering, Oppenheimer’s intensive spatial modifications generate astonishing effects that both scramble and clarify our understanding of the buildings we inhabit, providing not only new ways of looking, but a new set of philosophical considerations with which to approach the built environment.
